April of 1803. Trillions of cicadas emerge due to coinciding cycles of "broods".

Since then...every 13 years, one group emerges. Every 17 years, another group emerges.

When is the next "busy"April of cicadas?

The risks taken while modelling foreign tasks (& thinking out loud) creates a space for struggle to be natural and ok.

Often, students only see carefully crafted & perfectly executed problems. Solving a new problem is messy and that can be ok.

Interesting thread, given the #abed new curriculum

[Chris Luzniak @cluzniak]

Should elem schools have teachers specialize in math? Or departmentalize? Thinking about a future @debatemathpod episode.

[Peter Liljedahl @pgliljedahl]

It’s been such a great experience working with your amazing teachers and the amazing students.

To celebrate National Pizza Day we decided to revisit this fun fact.

Here's a useful counterintuitive fact: one 18 inch pizza has more 'pizza' than two 12 inch pizzas
